The matter finally came to light, and there was no such thing as an old lady, and both father and son breathed a sigh of relief.

King Ling went to tell the old lady about it in person, and the old lady was stunned, she looked at her eldest son in disbelief and was speechless for a long time.

Xiao Wu next to her shouted softly: "Auntie, are you okay?" She was a little afraid that the old lady would not be able to stand this blow. The old lady was still stunned as if she hadn't listened.

From the time when the old lady was a girl, Mama Yang was the most powerful girl by her side, and later Mama Yang died soon after she got married. She herself has no sons and half daughters, and with her love for the old lady, she came back to be the mother of the old lady's side.

She has been by the old lady's side for so many years, and she is not much different from the old lady's age. In another two years, the old lady still wants to find someone to support her. Over the years, almost all the decisions of the old lady have been related to Mama Yang, who is her left hand and right hand.

In Xiao Wu's opinion, this aunt lacks some assertiveness, and what Yang's mother says is what it is. Sometimes Xiao Wu thinks that the old lady listens to Mother Yang for everything, and Mother Yang doesn't know that she takes her to the ditch. She once pointed at the old lady in words, but the old lady didn't know if she trusted Yang Ma too much or really couldn't understand her hints, anyway, it was useless every time, and then Xiao Wu stopped caring and tossed with the master and servant.

After Mama Yang was taken away yesterday, although the old lady was angry, she only felt that Mama Yang didn't know who she had taken as a bribe, and she had never connected Mama Yang's bribery with poisoning.

Today, the words of the king of the county shocked her, and she came to her senses for a long time and asked hesitantly: "Did I hear it wrong? How could Mother Yang be the one who poisoned her; Furong is your cousin, she is such an obedient and kind girl, how can she harm your daughter-in-law?"

King Ling Jun looked at his mother with pity, he thought that if his mother's side was not Mother Yang, but another more upright mother, his mother might not have been estranged from him for so many years, and this Mother Yang really didn't play a good role by his mother's side.

So he told his mother in an affirmative tone: "Mother, she has already recruited herself, Wu Furong because she did not marry me, and Changxing married me, she has a grudge against Changxing, so she killed Changxing; Mother, it is clear that she is a terrible jealousy. On her grandmother's birthday last time, Wu Furong and Linlang had a conflict again, so this became her poison. ”

The old lady listened to her son's words in a daze, and then she suddenly burst into tears.

Xiao Wu was so frightened that he hurriedly brought her a handkerchief and persuaded her: "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Now that your cousin has found out about the matter, you should be happy, or you don't know that there is such a vicious person around you, and you don't know what she did behind your back." ”

The old lady didn't speak, she just cried. The king of the county is helpless, he has other things, this matter has just been found out, he has to deal with it quickly. But the old lady in front of him was crying so much, and he couldn't throw her down and lift her legs and leave. But he stayed here, he was a big man, and he didn't know how to persuade him.

Xiao Wu saw his embarrassment, so he said to him: "Cousin, you are busy with your affairs, my aunt still has me here." ”

King Ling had no choice but to say, "Then there is Cousin Lao, I'll deal with this matter first." ”

Coming out of the old lady, King Ling went to the Jiang family with the confessions drawn by Yang Ma and Yang Dazhu. After he told the Jiang family's family what had happened, he sent the confession to the old man of the Jiang family and said, "I will hear the news in three days, otherwise I will hand over these confessions to Shuntianfu with the witnesses." ”

After the old man of the Jiang family knew what had happened, he was shocked and annoyed, he blushed with an old face and said tremblingly: "Lord Jun, our Jiang family has such a vicious person, and the family is unfortunate." I will give you a satisfactory explanation, and ask the prince of the county to let our Jiang family go. ”

Old man Jiang is an understanding person, his daughter-in-law is so vicious, no matter which family this county palace and peace palace are, as long as he stretches out a small finger, he can turn their Jiang family over. He had better hurry up and relent.

When the king was leaving, he remembered what Aru had asked for, so he asked, "How much did you pay for the new little guy who came in next to your grandson?" ”

The old man of the Jiang family hurriedly said, "You take it away, you don't have to give money." So saying, he asked people to bring the little guy, and asked them to ask for his deed of sale.

Mulberry's younger brother is a very good-looking child. He followed the king of the county and asked uneasily, "Lord the king, did my sister call you here?"

The king touched the child's head, and his heart was full of pity. When he came, Aru begged him to bring back Mulberry's brother. He knew that Aru took pity on this boy, and it didn't cost anything to do it, so he asked for the man back.

Along the way, he asked about the child's background, which was also a child of an official family and had been reading books for several years. His father, a former jinshi, later came to the south to work as a county magistrate, and last year he was sent to prison for bribes, and died in prison before he could be sentenced. The king of the county asked him his original name, and his original name was Liang Wentao. The king of the county said to him, "You should call Sang Wentao with your sister first."

Sang Wentao was twelve years old, he didn't know that his sister was dead, he thought that his sister begged the county king to save him from the Jiang family, and he would be able to work with his sister in the county king's mansion in the future, and he would be able to see his sister often.

The king did not explain to him what happened to his sister, but led him directly to Aru.

Sang Wentao stood there crampedly after kowtowing to Yaru, he didn't know when his sister would come over.

Yaru looked at the thin but very delicate child in front of her and sighed in her heart. She thought that this child had the right to know about his sister, but he was only twelve years old, could he accept the cruel reality that his relatives had died one after another?

Yaru said, "I'll call you Ah Tao in the future." Ah Tao, your sister committed suicide this morning. ”

Sang Wentao only felt that it was dark in front of him, his thin body shook, and Xinghong next to him was afraid that he would fall, and was about to help him, but he stabilized his figure. He clenched his fists, hatred spewed out in his eyes, and he asked word by word: Why did my sister kill herself?

Yaru unconsciously appreciated the boy, who did not cry and scream, but faced the incident with such a reaction. This is a very strong boy.

So Aru whispered to him, "When I talk in a while, don't you interrupt me and let me finish all the time?"

Sang Wentao looked at Yaru with red eyes, and all he saw in Yaru's eyes was sincerity, so he nodded.

Aru finished the matter in slow words. Then she stopped and looked at the boy in front of her.

Sang Wentao muttered, "You mean that my sister put the medicine in the powder box, and she almost killed the princess of the county?"

Yaru nodded.

He asked again, "Are you saying that my sister was coerced by that Mrs. Jiang?"

Yaru nodded again: "Yes, they used your life to blackmail your sister to poison her." ”

The boy's tears finally welled up, and he cried, "Can I go see my sister then?"

Yaru's eyes were moist: "Go, let Sister Xinghong lead you." ”

The mulberry leaves have been packed in a coffin, but they have not yet been sealed. The coffin was parked in the firewood room.

Sang Wentao held the coffin and wept bitterly, and Yaru asked people to prepare filial piety clothes for him. In the firewood room, Sang Wentao saw the big Yang character written by his sister in blood.

That night, Yaru asked Ling and his family to find a secluded place outside Beijing and bury the mulberry leaves.

Before she could figure out how to place Sang Wentao, Sang Wentao pointed at Ling Yi and said, "Princess Shizi, let me learn martial arts from him, I want to be a guard of the county king's mansion in the future." ”

Yaru looked at him: "But you are already twelve, and it is a little late to start learning martial arts at this age, and you have to suffer a lot." ”

"Princess Jun, don't worry, I'm not afraid of hardship. I will learn from Brother Ling with my heart. Sang Wentao's eyes were full of perseverance.

Yaru smiled: "Then you can go." ”

After the old lady was sad, she told her son that she wanted to meet Yang's mother. King Ling Jun agreed to her. The old lady took Xiao Wu and Bihe Bilian to the place where Yang's mother was held that night.

Mother Yang didn't expect the old lady to come, and her eyes showed surprise and hope.

After the old lady went in, she sat on the seat that Bihe and others had brought her. She looked at this old servant who had grown up with her and had been with her for decades, and her old eyes were full of disappointment and sadness.

At this time, Mother Yang's hair was messy, her body was wrinkled, her face was gray, and her eyes that had rekindled hope looked at the old lady eagerly. She came up and hugged the old lady's leg and cried: "Old lady, you save me, I have served you for decades, you can't ignore me." ”

Bihe and the others came up and took a lot of effort to pull her away. The old lady looked at her with tears and snot on her face, and disgust suddenly rose in her heart, it was the person in front of her who she thought was intimate who had harmed her daughter-in-law.

The old lady didn't like the county lord of Changxing, but she never thought of letting the county lord of Changxing die. She is a delicate person, but she is not a vicious person, and she cannot do anything that kills people. What's more, the county lord has already given birth to a pair of children for the Ling family. She doesn't like these two children anymore, these two children are also the blood of the Ling family, and they are her own grandchildren. But the person in front of her, whom she has trusted for decades, has caused her grandchildren to lose their mother. Abominable, hateful, the old lady's heart is now infinitely remorseful.

The old lady asked her in disgust: "Let me ask you one more thing, did you kill that Qiaoyun? I clearly remember that at that time, I gave her a decoction that made people abort instead of killing her, why did she die a month later? Did you help me get rid of her?"

When Mother Yang heard this, she immediately came to her senses: "Yes, old lady, she is in your way, I can't let her live, and I later let her drink poison." Old lady, I've been planning for you all my life, and if I didn't have me in the future, they wouldn't have taken you seriously. Old lady, save me. "Mother Yang, this is really a life-saving straw for illness, and she even told this secret that has been hidden for many years.

Xiao Wu and the subordinates all felt a chill, is this Mother Yang really crazy, her loyalty is too terrible, and she still has a life on her hands. Xiao Wu and the people who came with him had heard of Qiaoyun, but the version that people said was that the old lady harmed Qiaoyun, but they didn't expect the murderer to be this vicious Yang Ma. The old lady is also unlucky enough, she has carried the black pot for so many years.

The old lady's face was pale, she always thought that Qiaoyun lost her life because of her abortion pill, but she didn't expect that it was Mama Yang who killed her. remembered that his husband and wife had been at odds for many years because of Qiaoyun's death, and the old county king did not forgive himself until he died, it turned out that it was all caused by this old man who thought he was good. The old lady was full of remorse, and she trembled angrily and pointed at Mother Yang: "Go, tell the king of the county to drop this vicious lady and her nephew on the stone Chen Tang." ”

The king had been standing outside for a long time, and she could hear the conversation inside clearly. It turns out that the truth is unraveled, and the truth is so cruel, the life of the mother and father was ruined in the hands of this woman. I always thought that my mother was a ruthless old lady who doubted her and lost a lot of respect for her. Now I finally understand that although my mother's character is not good, she is really not a vicious person.

When King Ling heard his mother's hysterical voice, he was afraid that he would make her angry, so he hurriedly went in and carried her out and sent her back to the courtyard in person.
